Remember this ad? I was thinking the same thing tonight at cardio tennis. After months of going to class in my ancient cross training shoes, I finally broke down and bought a pair of real tennis shoes. I couldn’t believe what a difference they made! I was able to run so much faster that I was actually getting too close to the ball. I had to either slow down or alter my stroke. I was so excited!

It must have been the shoes. Definitely the shoes. Or. . . was it my adidas tennis ensemble?
